Not only was Powell one of the top officials in THIS current R. administration, but Powell helped greatly in putting us in the current war in Iraq. SO, now we have the bizarre spectacle of one of the officials who helped to put us into Iraq turning on John McCain, who more than just about anyone has seen and urged the correct course for VICTORY there. Great way to support the troops, General Powell.
We have the bizarre spectacle of Powell endorsing Obama, the guy who more than just about anyone has sought to undermine and wreck the war effort. Now, just when victory is in our grasp, Powell supports the guy who wanted to wreck the war effort all along, and Powell undermines the guy who saw and boldly led the way to victory.
Truly a very strange record for a retired General and supposed man of honor. Gee, maybe race has something to do with it?
Correct, my friend, he was commander of ground forces in the Gulf War.
Then, because he was not included “in the loop” by Cheney and Bush to the degree he would have liked in planning for the current Iraq engagement, he became jealous and turned on them once he stepped down as SECSTATE.
Well, I wonder what Condi has to say about her mentor? Will she follow suit?
I wonder.....
Most important of all, your point that we have a former General giving our troops over to the likes of O’Bammy as their CIC, makes my head spin. And it makes me wonder how sincerely military and certainly patriotic, Powell EVER was.
